Well, a job is a job. And anything that keeps you from sleeping on the streets is a win

2019-05-14 17:39:42 UTC  

You know what happens when you get out? YOU END UP IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER

2019-05-14 17:40:11 UTC  

The US Army has an entire IT job field. After basic training you go to beautiful Fort Gordon, Georgia and learn about computers and IT systems

2019-05-14 17:47:51 UTC  

Had a few buddies in the IT field and they generally had easy jobs predeployments

2019-05-14 17:48:43 UTC  

I had a bunch of 25 series friends. They got out and used all the certificates they got while in to get nice cushy jobs on the outside

2019-05-14 17:56:50 UTC  

Basically what most of mine did

2019-05-14 17:57:03 UTC  

Others..not so much lol

2019-05-14 17:57:49 UTC  

Lol it’s a good strategy. Looking back I should have chosen a soft skill MOS. Finding bombs was fun but I was on the struggle bus for awhile when I got out.

2019-05-14 17:59:48 UTC  

Yeah I get that, "things go boom" on an application doesn't sound good lol

2019-05-14 18:01:23 UTC  

Lol for three years it didn’t. Then I lucked into what I do now. I handle an explosives detection dog and the money is pretty good. They saw “spent 6 years looking for IEDs and shit” and called me the day after I submitted my resume

2019-05-14 18:01:48 UTC  

Good shit lol

2019-05-14 18:03:25 UTC  

My situation was more of a "I gave up" shit show

2019-05-14 18:03:48 UTC  

But I'm getting my life squared away now

2019-05-14 18:03:52 UTC  

I’ve been there.

2019-05-14 18:04:31 UTC  

It’s ok to give up for a little bit. Take a breather and figure shit out. It’s entirely different to stay in the self pity party.

2019-05-14 18:05:54 UTC  

No doubt. Can't stay in the hole forever, took me a bit to realize it

2019-05-14 18:06:41 UTC  

But you realized it. Some people never do and just wind up becoming shells of themselves

2019-05-14 18:10:37 UTC  

True enough

2019-05-14 18:17:31 UTC  

Basically came to an agreement with myself, either i get my life squared away in the next two years or I just go off the grid and become a war touring merc

2019-05-14 18:17:40 UTC  

And for legal reasons that's a joke

2019-05-14 18:17:49 UTC  

lol

2019-05-14 18:18:22 UTC  

My endgame is to go back overseas for a PMC

2019-05-14 18:19:00 UTC  

K9 guys make some serious cash. Like SOC is paying K9 handlers 300+ bucks a day

2019-05-14 18:19:12 UTC  

Nice

2019-05-14 18:20:09 UTC  

Buddy of mine and I are thinking or starting a security firm at some point. *holds out can for donations* but it's a slow process atm lol

2019-05-14 18:32:05 UTC  

Yeah there’s a bunch of hoops and shit to jump through

2019-05-14 20:55:16 UTC  

Why the fuck we have fb group now?

2019-05-14 21:02:43 UTC  

Idk might as well haha

2019-05-14 21:03:55 UTC

2019-05-14 21:05:08 UTC

2019-05-14 21:42:38 UTC

2019-05-14 21:43:06 UTC
